A Trump-esque figure with a flamboyant comb-over, he uses the Death Race to subdue the masses. The subtlety meter is cranked down to zero when Malcolm McDowell introduces the race as the chairman of the United Corporations of America. Yes, there is a Sharktopus franchise, and that may be the most depressing film-related sentence of the year. After all, the pop-art genius behind Vincent Price's Edgar Allan Poe cycle has been reduced to executive producer credits on flat schlock like the Sharktopus franchise. And now he's under the tutelage of Corman. A bizarre hybrid family history/music documentary, Echternkamp actually remade the story of his Eighties pop-rock father and his former superfan mother as a feature with Oliver Platt and Rene Russo in 2015. Echternkamp's film, which is a real shock, considering it's hard to imagine any project more removed from his breakthrough movie, 2007's Frank and Cindy. That's not to undermine his achievements as a director, but since 53 of his 56 directing credits come before 1972, and two since then were uncredited, he's really a producing guiding hand.
Yes, the original and this somewhat remake have Corman's name above the title, but that's how the attention-hog exploitation master works. Anderson's 2008 Death Race, or its prequels, or even 1975's Paul Bartel-directed midnight classic Death Race 2000. Don't worry, if you lost track, Death Race 2050 is nothing at all to do with Paul W.S.
